another story from my flight (death fantasy!)

there was also some really obnoxious woman on the final leg of my flight. she was one of those spoiled ugly old women that are trying to dress like they are much younger. she was talking so loud that even with earplugs i couldn't ignore her conversation. i learned that she paid $1300-1500 for each of her 3 dogs, but she just considers them pets (although they are all award winning! she is quick to point out.) i learned that she has a 20 year old daughter who shared a bed with her until she was 11 years old. i learned about her failed marriage (i wonder why?). i learned an hour worth of loud things about this beast. she is talking to the perfect stranger sitting next to her on the plane, by the way. when we have to turn the plane around after an hour of sitting on the runway so that a mechanic can look over the "irregularities" in the cabin door, she starts screeching about how she wants off the plane. she tells the stewardess to let her off, goes back to her seat and calls someone at i assume her destination to tell them she isn't coming because she "doesn't want to die." she repeats this phrase louder and louder, over and over. like the rest of us are the assholes that can't wait for the sweet embrace of death at 20,000 feet. like i am the dumb fuck that wants to be sucked out of the cabin door. by sitting there and calmly waiting to find out if there is even a problem or not, the entire passenger list of the plane are irrational death-loving fucks. like airplane malfunctions don't happen every second and every single plane you fly hasn't been reworked in every capacity. some guy told her to shut up. he told her that she can do what she needs to do, but she shouldn't alarm everyone else with her comments. she got all offended and told him he shouldn't be listening to her private conversations. simultaneously that guy and another guy say "how can we not?" she shuts up and i love that guy. needless to say she didn't fly the flight and it was one of the few things that went right that day.
